Love is powerful. It perseveres through even the most difficult of circumstances. As God’s Word points out in 1 Corinthians 13:8, “love never fails.” One couple, who has gone through a devastating experience, exemplifies this unfailing love. 

In 2005, Philip O’Driscoll, an Australian helicopter pilot, suffered horrific burns in a crash. Phil, who had just landed his dream job as a pilot for a Canadian mining company, was on his way to pick up three men when something terrible happened, the video states. 

The helicopter’s engine failed just prior to picking up one of the men. At the time, Philip had two options to land the helicopter. The first one would have killed the man waiting to board the aircraft. Philip chose, instead, the second option that sent the aircraft down the side of the mountain, ending in a fiery explosion, according to 60 Minutes Australia. 

Philip’s bold action saved that man’s life! 

Badly burned, Phil was rushed to the hospital. 

Kate, the love of Phil’s life, who was three months pregnant with their daughter, Hannah, immediately hopped on a plane to Canada. Phil was so badly burned that Kate admits he was barely recognizable.

“I wouldn’t have known that it was Phillip,” she said. Apart from, you could just see his chest and this, this was the part of his chest where I always used to lay my head. But any of the rest of him, I, it could’ve been anybody.”

Time since the accident has been long and arduous. The clip mentions that in the years since the accident, Philip had undergone nearly 40 operations. But it’s been the love from Kate and Hannah that has kept Phil going.

The clip shows Kate, who is a trained nurse, changing Phil’s bandages. 

“It’s changed the whole dynamics of our relationship,” she said. “We were used to not spending too much together because Philip would always be away working for long periods to having to spend 24 hours a day together.”

Kate adds, with a laugh, that she still finds time to give him a hug when she’s “not trying to kill him.”

“For her to have to sit every day and try to find that line between carer and lover-type thing, you know, she’s had to be my mother basically,” Philip said. 

The video also shows Philip, Kate and Hannah enjoying a day at the beach together. 

Philip adds that some days are tougher than others and admits that smiling can be a chore at times, but with his daughter around that’s never the case.

“It’s hard to find the strength to smile some days,” Philip said. “But when I look at my daughter, it’s not hard to smile.”

Ephesians 4:2 “With all gentle and quiet behavior, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;”

Relationships, especially romantic ones, can be difficult and tricky to maneuver. When they come to an end, feelings are often hurt, leaving people scrambling for answers. One young woman turned some helpful advice she received following the end of a relationship into a song that has since gotten a lot of attention on social media.

On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly introduced her audience to Shaylen, a Nashville-based singer and songwriter. Shaylen explained the origins of the beautiful song, “Do It Right the First Time.”

It all began with a painful breakup.

“This is the guy I thought I was gonna marry and probably the worst breakup that I went through,” Shaylen said. 

Shaylen’s first instinct was to reach out to her mother but was quickly redirected to another source.

“So, she’s like, ‘Call your grandparents. They’ve been married 75 years,”’ she said.

Shalylen mentioned that she got on a plane and flew out to sit and talk with her grandparents. What Shaylen received from her grandmother and grandfather were words of wisdom about relationships and significant others.

“I was like, ‘What’s the secret?”’ Shaylen asked. “She’s like, ‘You gotta laugh at everything ‘cause nothing is that serious in hindsight.”’

Shaylen’s grandfather stated that relationships are all about giving it everything you’ve got and being happy with the results.

“And my papa was like, ‘You gotta try the best you can. Love your hardest. And sometimes you might not get it right the first time and that’s OK ‘cause everything works out the way it’s supposed to,”’ she said.

Shaylen also confessed that after she turned her grandparents’ advice into a song, the response on TikTok was massive and that she kind of “freaked out.” A lot of people, she said, asked for “Do It Right the First Time” to be their wedding song.

Job 12:12 “With aged men is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.”

Motivational speech to elevate your spirit.

Nothing says ‘I do’ more than last-minute nuptials mid-flight. While onboard a Jet-Blue flight to Seattle, a flight attendant throws a mock wedding when they discover Chas and Dina are eloping. 

Once the flight crew learns they are getting married, they quickly put together the wedding and announce it on board to all passengers on board. Once the announcement is made, all eyes are on the couple, and a few passengers whip out their phones to catch this beautiful moment on camera. Who doesn’t want to capture a mock wedding in mid-air? 

“Come and say ‘Hi’ Chas,” said the flight attendant as he pulls Chas out from behind the divider and even helps Chad wave to everyone on board. He happens to be wearing a t-shirt that looks like a suit, complete with a bow tie. Talk about classy! As classy as it is, you can tell Chas is a little nervous about being the center of attention. Next, the flight attendant announces the flower girl and bride coming up the aisle from the back of the plane!

Joanne, another flight attendant steps in to be a flower girl as she waltzes down the aisle throwing beautiful off-white napkins.

Next comes the bride, Dina. She is not only glowing but slightly embarrassed by all the attention. Or perhaps it was because the flight attendants put together a last-minute veil made of trash bags and toilet paper on top of a gorgeous bouquet made of napkins and sugar packets tied together inside a silver mini-trash can. 

Dina however, manages to pull the whole look off as a beautiful, blushing bride! Isn’t she blessed that she gets to practice her walk down the aisle to the love of her life? If this isn’t the sweetest moment before they officially say, ‘I do,’ I don’t know what is. I imagine this flight was full of love as couples reminisced about their wedding day. 

Congratulations to the couple. May their actual nuptials be a moment they will never forget. And may it be a marriage full of love and blessings along the way. May God be the foundation of your marriage and walk this lifelong journey with you!

“And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity,” Colossians 3:14.

Check out this video of a state trooper heroically rescuing a cat on the side of a dangerous road. A good Samaritan was also there to lend a helping hand.

“You’re okay, bud. You’re okay,” an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper named Katie Thomas says to the adorable black cat stuck in a scary situation. From the body cam footage taken from the camera that the state trooper was wearing, you can see the whole heroic rescue unfold on the side of the busy highway.

A good samaritan also came to the rescue and worked with Officer Thomas to get the sweet cat to safety. During the rescue, the cat became scared and tried to hide in the patrol car on top of a wheel. Using its claws, the cat was pretty stuck up there, and Officer Thomas had to work to pry the cat free.

“Come on. You gotta let go,” the state trooper said to the cat to encourage it to let go of the tire and come out from under the patrol car. Eventually, the little cat was retrieved from under the patrol car, and the good samaritan was able to hold it for a minute to offer some comfort.

Then the cat was put in the back seat of the patrol car and was finally out of harm’s way. But after such a scary incident, the cat would not stop meowing after being placed in the backseat.

Thankfully, the state trooper was able to drive the cat to the Toledo Humane Society. And the staff there appropriately named the rescue kitty Trooper!

Because of Officer Thomas and the good samaritan’s actions, the cat named Trooper was able to be adopted and find their forever home! God bless these two women who saved the day for this sweet little cat!

Understanding why God wants us to walk by faith and not by your senses.

You have to watch this young musical prodigy with autism excitedly play the piano that he was surprised with from a generous donor. This young kid is so talented!

It all started back in September 2022 when Jude Koife’s story went viral. Jude lives in Aurora, Colorado, and the 11-year-old’s parents had found him playing beautifully on an old keyboard in their basement. But he had never received piano lessons before!

That’s when Bill Magnusson, a piano tuner, heard about Jude’s story. And he decided to use some of his father’s inheritance to buy a grand piano for Jude to have! What a generous gift!

In the video that Isaiah Kofie, Jude’s father, shared online, you can see Bill testing out the $15,000 grand piano after he finished tuning it in the Kofie family’s home. Then Jude is able to get his hands on the new piano and make such beautiful music.

“After I play this, then you can play the piano, okay?” Bill says to Jude. “Okay! I’ll just watch,” Jude responds before taking a turn at the keys. You can tell that he is very excited to get a chance to play the incredible piano. What an amazing gift for this musical boy to receive!

The video then shows the grand piano from different angles, and you can also see Bill’s tuning instruments on the ground.

“After Bill was done tuning the grand piano, it was time for us to try our hands on it. It was superb,” Isaiah Kofie shared online.

Bill also shared that the young musical prodigy deserved the best and Jude’s talent was “Mozart level.”

As Jude is playing on the grand piano, you can just feel the joy that he has! This is one gift that will impact him for the rest of his life. God bless Bill Magnusson for his generous heart and blessing Jude and his family.

Politicians and athletes are often not heroic at all. While some may refer to them as such, they are either playing a kids’ game or simply voting for or against specific legislation. Real heroes put themselves in physical danger to help someone else. One man qualifies as a hero following his recent actions. 

Adolfo Molina acted after he noticed a small blue car driving erratically. The vehicle in question had “lost control and was driving up against the guardrail” on a busy Massachusetts interstate, according to Boston.com. 

Video of Adolfo’s heroism shows him climbing out of his vehicle and then sprinting across multiple lanes of traffic in order to reach the blue car. Once he reached the car, he saw the female driver unconscious. Her head was bouncing up against the window. 

The video shows Adolfo running alongside the car as he periodically tries to pull open the passenger door. Unfortunately, the door was locked. But thanks to the help of another fellow motorist, Adolfo was able to get the vehicle stopped. 

While it was a dangerous and risky move to sprint across a busy interstate and run next to a moving car, Adolfo does not have regrets.

“If it was presented to me 10,000 more times, I would still do it,” Adolfo said, according to an English translation from NBC News.

The Lord’s hand of protection was upon Adolfo, and he agrees.

“It was something like God protected me in that moment,” Adolfo said, according to an English translation from NBC News.  

Others commenting on the video praised Adolfo for his courageous act.

“What a hero he is so special not many people would risk their lives like that,” one person wrote.

“My gosh complete respect for this man! What an extraordinarily good man and hero!” a second person posted in response to the video. 

John 15:13 “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

A kind word or a positive, motivational message can help turn a person's day around. Who doesn’t like to hear or read something uplifting? That’s what makes one mother’s recent astounding discovery so heartwarming!

Sabrina Clendenin, in a video posted to YouTube, stated that she came across notes her husband wrote to their daughters. As the video points out, her husband would, daily, place sticky notes with positive, uplifting messages in each of their three young girls' lunches.

When she initially came across the notes, Sabrina was shocked at the massive number of notes. However, she then felt a wave of emotions as she began to dig into the little pieces of paper stuffed in a drawer.

“And then I started reading them and that’s why I took that. I laid them all out and I started getting into them and I got a little emotional because I didn’t know, like, he was even doing specific days,” she said.

Sabrina adds that her husband had even created messages for specific days of the week. 

“Like there’s a ‘What Am I Wednesday?’, ‘Fun Fact Friday', ‘Motivational Monday.’ And I was just like, 'This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen,” she said. 

The video shows hundreds of notes across several tables with the loving messages from the girls' father. As the video points out, those are not even all of them. Those notes are only from the beginning of the school year!

The young girls cherished the sweet notes from their father so much that they have kept every single one he's written them.

Sabrina jokingly adds that her husband’s touching and sweet gesture is something he may have to continue for a long time. 

“I don’t think he can stop now,” she said. “I think he’s locked in for life. They’re going to be in college and they’re going to be expecting those notes.”

What a sweet, simple act from a loving father that means so much!

Ephesians 6:4 “You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”

Take a listen to “You’ve Got a Friend,” sung by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust. The James Taylor classic is updated and spiced up a bit here, but the message is the same. 

Four lines of the chorus say it all:

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running oh yeah, baby
To see you again

Aside from the lyrics, the Hollens and Foust rendering of the song is super satisfying and soothing! With the two (or maybe more) parts and the combination of their exquisite voices, the performance is a pleasure to the ears. 

For the first 60 seconds, as Peter Hollens delivers melodic magic with the first verse, Home Free’s bass, Tim Foust, 41, creates a bunch of different beats and sounds aside from the rich notes he sings. 

Very cool! Probably, we can thank the group Pentatonix or the movie Pitch Perfect for bringing A Cappella music into fashion today, but it has been around for a very long time!

Peter Hollens, 42, is a classically trained vocalist who has partnered with a variety of artists on A Cappella projects, including his wife, Evynne; she’s an a cappella singer, too. Peter and Tim have collaborated several times and now have an album entitled Beautiful Duets Vol. 1, and, if this recording is indicative of the others included on the album, it is sure to be a winner! 

It’s not often that a movie does a book justice or a cover measures up to the original. However, this one may be one that does! 

In addition to their song performance perfection, we get a glimpse of another friend in a blooper at the video’s start when a white horse wants to join in. And don’t exit early! 

If you do, you will miss Peter and his handsome little guy as he talks about the album project and thanks his patrons for their support. His kiddo may have a future in performing as well. His hand signals and expressions are right on cue! 

“Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends, is for your strengthening.” 2 Corinthians 12:19

Children can be difficult, stressful, expensive and tiring at times. Despite this, most parents would still do anything they could for their children. A parent’s love for their child is an unfailing kind that endures time and distance. A video on social media shows the kind of long-lasting love a parent has for a child.

A video posted on Instagram shows the absolute joy and surprise on a parent’s face after an unexpected encounter with her child. The video is of a parent reuniting with her child after being apart for 2 years, according to the video’s caption.

The video shows what appears to be a small family gathering or party. People fill the small room, with individuals sitting or standing in various spots. 

The short clip continues as a woman sits on a couch, looking down a hallway as somebody holds up a rug. Everyone in the room stares in the direction of the rug as it dangles in the air expectantly. The rug soon after drops, but there is nothing. Party attendees share a laugh as they were all obviously expecting something!

After being directed to hold on for just a few seconds, a man picks up the carpet off the floor. It’s time to give it one more attempt. It’s time for take two.

The carpet drops for the second time. Now, we see a man and a woman holding a baby. Following the big reveal, the camera switches positions. The camera now shows us the woman on the couch who has immediately burst into tears.

Seconds later and mom and son share in an extended and loving embrace. 

What a sweet, heartfelt reunion! There likely wasn’t a dry eye in that entire room. 

Deuteronomy 5:16 “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you.”

Being an expectant parent, preparing for the arrival of a baby is a stressful and anxiety-filled period. There’s seemingly so much to do before that little bundle of joy arrives and never enough time to do it. However, one woman, who has a physical disability, was able to enjoy a special ultrasound so she could see the baby before the big day.

Ashton Johnson is awaiting the birth of her baby boy. However, Ashton is visually impaired and has been unable to see her child in any of the ultrasounds that have been done, according to KETV.

Instead, Ashton has had to rely on her husband, Logan, to describe them to her. That is until Ashton’s OBGYN came up with something, something special for Ashton.

“And so, the thought came like, ‘It’d be really nice to give her something tangible to hold on to, to feel the contours of the baby’s face and to really get an understanding of what baby looks like,”’ Dr. Katie Sekpe said to KETV. 

So, Dr. Sekpe got to work and teamed up with another OBGYN. The doctors then turned those ultrasound images into 3D models. That way, through touch, Ashton would be able to “see” her baby.

Ashton was overcome with emotion after her medical team presented her with the 3D ultrasound.

“Thank you so much, guys,” Ashton said. “This really means so much to me, thank you.”

While Ashton continued to express her gratitude for the special gift, she also stated that others in a similar position get to experience something so special.

“I hope other moms get to do this because this is so cool,” she said. 

Wow, what a fantastic and special gift to give a mother! Ashton really has a group of medical professionals who have a heart for their patients. 

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Athletes spend countless hours in the gym, in the ring or on the ice practicing and perfecting their craft. An athlete's relentless pursuit and tenacious dedication aimed at their goal are beyond admirable. One young athlete recently experienced the fruits of all her labor.

Isabeau Levito is a United States figure skating champion. The athlete from New Jersey won the title with a near-flawless routine. To make her new distinction even more impressive, Isabeau is only 15 years old! 

The clip posted to YouTube shows the teenager skating to victory during her stunning, title-winning routine. Isabeau skates around on the ice with elegance, grace and tons of athleticism and strength.

Isabeau’s routine consisted of jumps, spins and several other mind-blowing moves that displayed both her technical skating ability as well as her artistry.

The television commentators were rightly stunned throughout her routine.

“Oh, these jumps are gorgeous!” one of them said.

At the end of her routine, that same commentator summed up Isabeau’s routine perfectly.

“That was a gold-medal skate if I ever saw one,” the commentator said. “Perfection. Precision. She takes her jumping passes with the precision of a heart surgeon but then she floats around like a ballerina. It’s the perfect mix that you want in figure skating.”

Following her big win, Isabeau mentioned that she was pleased with how she reacted during a taut, tense moment.

“I was just so proud of myself for staying so calm and staying so focused, doing exactly what I aimed to do,” she said, according to CNN. “I’m ready to start bouncing off the walls.”

This teenager has a bright future in the world of competitive figure skating. The Olympics and possibly several medals are likely in this young woman’s future. 

Congrats, Isabeau! 

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.”

Hope and love will cause people to act in extraordinary ways, to push themselves and others beyond their limits. Both hope and love will cause people to keep going even when the odds are decidedly not in their favor. One video is a perfect example of what is possible with a little bit of hope and love.

A video posted to YouTube shows the moment a family was reunited with a man who had been lost at sea for nearly four hours. 

That man, Dylan Gartenmayer, became lost at sea off the coast of Florida after he was swept away by a current while spearfishing with a couple of buddies, the clip states. Dylan says that when he was finally able to resurface, he did not see his boat anywhere. 

To try and find him, the U.S. Guard launched a search for Dylan. However, another search party - Tabitha, Dylan’s mom, a family friend, Dylan’s friend, a cousin and his grandfather Edward - took off in a boat in hopes of finding Dylan in the ocean. 

Hours after he first went missing, when nightfall was approaching, Dylan admits that he thought his life may be over.

“Yeah, one point, whenever that sun had set, this could, this could definitely be the end,” he said.

With hope, love and Dylan’s last known coordinates in the ocean, his family and friends headed to the spot - a favorite of Dylan’s. Sure enough, that’s where his family and friends and not the U.S. Coast Guard found and rescued the young man.

The video shows the pure joy and jubilation of the people onboard the boat as they spot Dylan floating in the water. Several people can be seen jumping up and down, screaming in excitement. 

Dylan’s mother, Tabitha, in the interview, detailed what she did seconds after they successfully pulled Dylan onto the boat. 

“As soon as we got him on the boat, I just held him tight because he was freezing. He was shaking,” she said. 

Tabitha added that divine intervention did play a role in them finding Dylan.

“I’m telling you it’s a miracle, “ she said. 

Praise God this young man was found alive!  

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Beauty can and does come from some of the most unexpected places. Whenever there is a terrible, awful tragedy, people will often react with overwhelming love and kindness that displays the best of humanity. One YouTube video also helps to remind us that beauty can come when we least expect it. 

The clip features an artist working with sand to create beautiful images as a piano instrumental of Jacob Collier’s “Never Gonna Be Alone” is played.

On the screen, we see sand scattered about as a hand appears periodically to move and form the granular particles. Often, we’re left wondering about the artist’s intentions and direction as he is creating, but when we see his finished product, we’re stunned at what he’s done. 

The first stunning image is that of an ocean scene at nightfall. Clouds litter the sky as the moon interacts with the water, seemingly appearing to touch the ocean.

After a few seconds, the artist’s hand is back on the screen. The artist begins to elongate the objects that acted as clouds in the previous scene. Again, we’re thinking, “Where is the artist going? What does this person have in mind?” A couple of minor tweaks later, and the artist has constructed an entirely different but just as visually stunning image!

The soothing piano instrumental that plays throughout the video and the visuals of the artist creating stunning sand art combine to make for a very comforting and calming clip. 

Much like the artist on screen, God can take what we see as nothing more than a mess and use those very same elements to create something truly breathtaking and beautiful!

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

One man, who was at the center of a horrific and disturbing scene on national television, says God is already using him as a vessel to accomplish good works.

Anyone who watched the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals witnessed a scary incident. During the first quarter of the game, Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field following a tackle. 

He suffered cardiac arrest. After medics on the field successfully got his heart beating again, he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. 

Now, out of the hospital, he continues to recover. Damar, in a video on social media, says he believes God is already using what happened to him during the football game for good.

“What happened to me on Monday Night Football, I feel is a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world,” Damar said in a video posted to Instagram. 

In the video, Damar mentions what he will do with the love and support he’s received during this time. 

“And I’m able to give it back to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most and that’s always been my dream. It’s always been what I stood for and what I’ll continue to stand for,” he said.

Damar also adds that this is just the beginning. He has much bigger plans for how he hopes to continue being a role model for children and to help those in need.

“This is just the beginning of the impact that I wanted to have on the world,”  Damar said. “And with God’s guidance, I will continue to do wonderful and great things.”

In the video, Damar also thanked a laundry list of people for their love and support, including his doctors and medical staff, the Bills organization, his teammates and Bills fans. 

2 Timothy 2:21 “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work.”
